Kentucky's movie is...
Coal Miner's Daughter
"You're lookin' at country," sang Loretta Lynn in her hit of the same name. Coal Miner's Daughter is a celebration of the country legend's life, as well as her Kentucky roots, which are the subject of many of her greatest songs. Raised in abject poverty in a mining town of Butcher Hollow, Lynn (portrayed by Sissy Spacek in an Oscar-winning performance) married at 12 and raised a family before embarking on a singing career. Though many of Lynn's songs describe the joys, pains, and distinctive rituals of her upbringing in the Bluegrass State, she also injected a potent strain of feminism into the country charts. Coal Miner's Daughter is the story of a woman who, even after achieving the American dream, never forgot where she came from.
